In the Time of slavery our great nation was on the verge of a bloody civil war.
The north had just one the election of Abraham Lincoln into the white house as our next president. The south on the other hand was furious because they saw Lincoln as a traitor.
They saw him as the next President who was a threat to there society and culture. Since the south was based on the slavery system because all of the cotton farms were down south they did not want Lincoln to ruin there way of life. All of this led up to the civil war which turned out to be the bloodiest in American history ever. Taking more lives than The American Revolutionary War, World War I, World War II, The War against Switzerland, The War of 1812, and the Vietnam War combined. The great nation became two. The north was the Union and The South was known as the Confederacy. In the end The north or the Union as they called it won the war and the nation became one again. Slaves got their independence and their rights as citizens. In my eyes We didnt win anything in the Civil War except for bloodshed but we did win the freedom of the slaves which is a good thing. Following the war Abraham Lincoln was Killed. shot in the back of the head while watching a play.
